That rear camber seems excessive, especially if you want to rotate the car easier. The front is fine, but I would just try a 0 camber in the back and see how your front bites then. Also, are you running Yoko's?

Great write up!

My Hipermax II's finally came in today! It could be a few days before I have them installed, but wow, it took awhile, but they seem to be really nice... too bad all the instructions are in japanese... hopefully the guy i take it to will already pretty much know what to do. I will post my review in this same thread when I finally get them on the car!

toe out in front gives good initial turn in but tends to push at the end of the turn(plus make s the car twitchy.)...less toe out or a little toe in gives less turn in but you get steering back in the end of the turn although that would make the car wander a bit on the straights.

I have the hypermax 2. They are very easy to install, took me all of 1.5 hours with the proper tools. Here's a couple of pics.










Ok, this picture has nothing to do with suspension, just wanted to showoff my new fmic, lol.

ok guys, I need some help... I'm getting the Hipermax II's installed on Wednesday. My question is where should I set the ride height... I want it as close to stock height as possible because I don't want to scratch and scuff up my front bumper. Is it ok to set them up to full height in the front and back? If I do set them up that high, it won't be higher than stock right, or will it?

when setting the damping on the hipermax, do you guys click max to stiff and reduce from there? i was told if you click max to soft, you run the risk of the damping rod or something going out of place?
